About This Item
Joseph Martin Kraus, also named as the InchSwedish MozartInch, has been many years a shadowy existence in music history. Gluck and even Joseph Haydn saw Incha real geniusInch in his virtuosic and nearly early-romantic works. His position as composer at the Swedish court under Gustav III made it possible to have a fixed income and a blithe creativity. This new gives us an overall musical impression of his compositions in all genres Beginning with the incidental music to Amphitryon, the high virtuosic Italian Cantatas, his Symphonies from different life periods, till the early String Quartets- it is clear that Gluck and Haydn were not mistaken in their assessment of his skill and prowess.
